HELP! Large speakers fell over during shipping.

MC is always blowing his horn over Tekton. I found their packaging the flimsiest in the business, no better than the kind of cardboard you would get a dress shirt in. This is my experience from 2012 when I bought the Pendragons. Both speakers arrived damaged and the cheap styrofoam corners in the box had completely disintegrated by the time they reached my home. FedEx delivered them. Eric Alexander was quite the A hole to me when I called about the damage and complained how flimsy the shipping cartons were. I wouldn’t buy a toothpick from that company and all the tweeters in his MOAB speakers are made in........CHINA.

After MC bashes everything from China, he buys a speaker with many Chinese made tweeters. His Melody amp may be based in Australia but it too is built in China. Can we say hypocrite?

@1111art, good decisions ... !
@moijostyn, fingers crossed, shipping from a manufacturer ... you should be good (moral support).

@1111art - you should refuse shipment to get the speakers back to DALI for them to inspect/fix, then send you out a inspected/new pair.  Accepting them then trying to fix yourself may opening a can of worms - a lot of uncertain additional time and effort invested to fix the speakers with no guarantee that they'll perform as new.

If they are strapped flat on the pallet much less chance of damage they should have plastic wrap around them also, if designed properly there should be thick sponge type foam ,not white styrofoam which is outdated and cheap. There should be no physical damage  maybe tighten drivers the screws around surround can be loose ,Xover is soldered it would take a lot to break ,if Xover is glued inside the glue could break away. For sure I would not except any box  
damaged period, once you except it it’s your problem.

The speakers are being re-delivered today. I'll inspect them, then an insurance adjuster will.
Then I'll either offer a lower price to the buyer (who's already fully refunded me), or let the shipping company do whatever they do at that point. The seller is a lawyer, so he's having me
write a disclaimer on the delivery notice.
